Fans Are Worried About Nicole Kidman’s Health Status Following Red Carpet Absence—What Does This Mean For The Oscars?
March 17, 2022 by Maria Pierides
Five-time-Oscar-nominee Nicole Kidman was noticeably absent from the annual Oscars nominees’ luncheon at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles on Monday March 7th, and she was also missing at the BAFTAs and the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday, March 13th. And now we know why! According to reports, the 54-year-old Being the Ricardos actress is recovering from a torn hamstring, and was under strict doctors’ orders to rest at home in Nashville!
Kidman was reportedly in the middle of filming the upcoming Prime Video series, Expats (based on the 2016 Janice Y.K. Lee novel, The Expatriate) when her pre-existing hamstring injury flared up and she had to stop filming. A Prime Video rep told Variety that filming was going ahead without her for a week, but added that there will be a temporary break while producers figure out how to work around her absence.
